Targeting of the hepatitis B virus precore protein to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane: after signal peptide cleavage translocation can be aborted and the product released into the cytoplasm. [PDF]
, 1988 The major hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein is a viral structural protein involved in nucleic acid binding. Its coding sequence contains an extension of 29 codons (the "precore" region) at the amino terminus of the protein which is present in a ...

CABS-flex 2.0: a web server for fast simulations of flexibility of protein structures
, 2018 Classical simulations of protein flexibility remain computationally expensive, especially for large proteins. A few years ago, we developed a fast method for predicting protein structure fluctuations that uses a single protein model as the input.

Chiral Peptide Nucleic Acids with a Substituent in the N-(2-Aminoethy)glycine Backbone
Molecules, 2012 A peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a synthetic nucleic acid mimic in which the sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by a peptide backbone. PNAs hybridize to complementary DNA and RNA with higher affinity and superior sequence selectivity compared to DNA ...

Impact of Nanoparticle Stiffness on Endosomal Escape and Signaling Pathways in Cytosolic Delivery
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Nanoparticle (NP) stiffness affects cellular uptake, but its impact on intracellular distribution remains unclear. This study synthesizes silica nanocapsules with varying stiffness, inspired by viral mechanisms, and applies assays to measure cellular uptake and escape efficiency.
